    GlossaryDonor Hair Density

    number of hair follicles per square centimeter in donor area

    Donor hair density refers to the number of hair follicles per square centimeter in the area of the scalp (usually the back or sides) from which hair is harvested for transplantation. This measurement is crucial for determining the feasibility and potential success of a hair transplant procedure, as higher donor density typically allows for more grafts to be transplanted, leading to better coverage and a more natural-looking result.
